Major Keynotes, Special Sessions and More at the 2019 Nightclub & Bar Show

On March 25, 2019, it begins. The 34th annual Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show, the nation’s longest-running gathering of bar, nightlife and restaurant professionals, will take over Las Vegas for three days.

Thousands of hospitality industry pros—owners, managers, bartenders, chefs, servers, CEOs, suppliers, distributors, and more—will descend upon the city to network, discover the latest products and services, attend workshops and education sessions, be inspired by passionate keynotes, and party together at the hottest nightclubs and bars in the country.

This year’s Nightclub & Bar Show educational lineup is loaded with the absolute best in the business tackling topics ranging from employee retention and guest psychology to sustainability, low-ABV cocktails and cannabis in the on-premise space. In-depth workshops will be hosted by award winners and experts like Dushan Zaric of Employees Only and Bob Brown, whose systems have been implemented by industry icons such as Disney and Waldorf Astoria.
